Abstract

Fifteen genotypes of cassava were tested for two seasons in each of six locations (representing mineral soils and drained peat as well as three agro-ecological zones AEZ) and data collected on fresh root yield and root starch content. Highest fresh yield and starch content was recorded at Serdang (mineral soil AEZ 3 with no distinct dry season). However peat locations were capable of productivity and starch content equivalent to the mineral soil locations. CM 982-7 produced the highest genotype mean for yield over all locations. With its moderately low root cyanide content this genotype is suitable for eating. However because of its low starch content this genotype is not as good as 17/A and Black Twig for planting on mineral soils nor CM 982-2 for peat
